The Trojans were up by 11 points before they blew their lead. Their defense looked shaky against the pass and gave up nearly 500 total yards in the game. The loss was a major setback for a team that looked hot coming out of the gates earlier this season.

How has the criticism against Wilcox been from the fans?

"Every day I’ve ever coached college football, there’s that," said Wilcox, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Wilcox also added that his defenders had "opportunities to make plays" but didn't finish and that "nobody felt good coming out of that game" after the loss.
